Susanne Abbuehl: The Gift

Read "Susanne Abbuehl: The Gift" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

There was a time when artists were expected to release a record every year--sometimes a very good thing, as there was so much development going on that there was plenty to document; other times a less-than-ideal situation, as some artists simply didn't have that much music in them, so releasing albums too frequently often worked against--rather ...

Eivind Aarset: Dream Logic

Read "Dream Logic" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Dopo oltre 15 anni dal debutto su ECM al fianco del trombettista Nils Petter Molvaer nel suo folgorante Khmer, seguito da diverse collaborazioni di prestigio in album di Marilyn Mazur, Arild Andersen, Jon Hassell, Andy Sheppard e Food, arriva finalmente il momento dell'esordio da titolare sull'etichetta bavarese per il chitarrista norvegese Eivind Aarset, che segue i ...

Giovanni Guidi Trio: City of Broken Dreams

Read "City of Broken Dreams" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

It seemed inevitable. After working with Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava on 2013's Michael Jackson tribute, Rava on the Dance Floor, and 2011's more intimate Tribe, it should come as no surprise that pianist Giovanni Guidi--the only connecting thread between those two records (other than, of course, Rava)--should find himself with an opportunity to make his own ...

Nicolas Masson / Roberto Pianca / Emanuele Maniscalco: Third Reel

Read "Third Reel" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Few would argue that, while the standard touchstones of contemporary jazz--names like saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Charles Mingus, and trumpeter Miles Davis--remain amongst the many cited when contemporary artists are asked for their influences, younger influences have also emerged in the new millennium, names like saxophonist Chris Potter, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and pianist ...

June Tabor / Iain Ballamy / Huw Warren: Quercus

Read "June Tabor / Iain Ballamy / Huw Warren: Quercus" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Awaiting release for more than seven years, Quercus is not the first time ECM has branched into the realm of traditional British music combined with jazz improvisation. Unlike the rawer and more unfettered freedom of producer Steve Lake's inspired pairing of singer Robin Williamson with improvisers including violist Mat Maneri, bassist Barre Phillips and Swedish traditionalist ...

Lucian Ban / Mat Maneri: Transylvanian Concert

Read "Transylvanian Concert" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

It's been six years since Mat Maneri last appeared on ECM, collaborating with singer Robin Williamson on the British traditionalist's exploratory The Iron Stone (2007); even longer since the violist shared a marquee for the German label, on 2004's Angles of Repose, with his now-deceased father, microtonal reed player Joe Maneri, and bassist Barre Phillips; even ...

Keith Jarrett / Gary Peacock / Jack DeJohnette: Somewhere

Read "Somewhere" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

It's been four years since a recorded peep has been heard from pianist Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio, despite continuing to perform a few select dates each year. But even its last few ECM releases--2009's Yesterdays, 2007's My Foolish Heart and 2004's The Out-of-Towners--were all culled from a clearly fruitful 2001, making it well over a decade ...

Charles Lloyd / Jason Moran: Hagar's Song

Read "Hagar's Song" reviewed by Enrique Turpin

by Enrique Turpin

No habrá que pasar por alto que la grabación de Hagar's Song no está producida por Manfred Eicher, sino por el propio Charles Lloyd junto con su mujer y mánager Dorothy Darr. El asunto debió de surgir de un modo natural, mientras el matrimonio observaba tal vez una de las fantásticas puestas de sol que se ...

Eberhard Weber: Résumé

Read "Résumé" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Ormai impossibilitato a tornare a esibirsi su un palcoscenico per le conseguenze dell'infarto che lo ha colpito nell'aprile 2007 mentre era in tour con il gruppo di Jan Garbarek, il contrabbassista Eberhard Weber non rinuncia a fornirci qualche nuovo esempio della sua arte, curando personalmente questo CD composto da dodici frammenti estratti dalle sue esibizioni in ...
